Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S600 review
The chunky DSC-S600 offers remarkable flexibility despite its bargain price. Its 6-megapixel resolution and moderately wide 31mm-to-93mm lens, in conjunction with decent low-light photos and extended shutter-speed latitude in moderate light, combine to produce a versatile point-and-shoot camera Read more

Casio Exilim Pro EX-P700 review
The Casio Exilim Pro EX-P700 follows in the midrange enthusiast footsteps of the company's well received P600, sporting a new black chassis, a seventh megapixel, an extensive feature set, pleasing picture quality and a surprisingly pocketable design Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2B review
The 5-megapixel DMC-LZ2's vibration-damping optical image stabilisation is especially useful at the telephoto end of this compact's 6x zoom. High-performance burst shooting and easy operation increase the DMC-LZ2's appeal, but its lack of manual controls will disappoint photo enthusiasts Read more
